People can't be saved, we can only understand the situation, and get more knowledge about poisoning and detoxification, so as to prepare for future emergencies.
"Did you wash your stomach?"
"It's been washed, what do you think it smells like in this room?"
"Washed in a coma?"
Cobain looked at Potter suspiciously, and suddenly realized that he was not an expert in front of him: "You don't think you can't do gastric lavage without the patient's cooperation, do you?"
"Uh...of course...not." Potter had never washed the stomach of a comatose person, but he knew from Cobain's tone that he had exposed his level, so he quickly found other topics to cover up, "How can this poison not only It can make people's blood go bad, but also lower their body temperature? Is this a side effect? It's so poisonous, how can it be left indiscriminately and let people steal it?" He asked with a straight face, and immediately thought of the queen before. Questions I couldn't answer when I asked, "Besides, what's its name? Where did it come from?"
"The hypothermia is not a poison...it's a side effect of magic. The Commander-in-Chief should have died a long time ago, but was forced to continue until this time by Ms. Melisandre's spell. But magic can maintain breathing and heartbeat, but for some reason it can't. Body temperature. It is indeed my responsibility that the poison was stolen. I have no way or plan to shirk it. Doctors are forbidden to spread... the name, I call it 'Stranger's Kiss', because there is no cure for this poison so far..."
The two related people got together and muttered to each other on medical skills and toxicology. Missandei, who accompanied her, approached the bed silently, stood where the doctor had just been, and began to perform her tasks. Mission: To judge whether Iger is pretending to be poisoned, and to ensure that the healers are not deceived by deception.
She first touched Iger's cheeks carefully, pinched his nose, and made sure that it was not made by others; then she reached into the bed and touched his torso lightly, and confirmed that the frightening hypothermia was not limited to The arm is the same as the whole body; then press his chest, quietly feel Iger's vital signs for a moment, and finally stop with a frown.
Not only is the commander in chief cold all over, but his heartbeat and breathing are also weak and slow to an abnormal level. Although I don't know if this is a symptom of poisoning, it does look like he will die at any time...
Could it be that Mr. Iger is really a victim as well, and I wrongly blamed him?
Frowning tightly, Missandei fell into deep self-doubt... After a long while, she reluctantly came up with the last test method.
"Like" is about to die, after all, it is not dead—maybe this is some kind of feign death spell of the red robe woman, which can make people look like they will die at any time when there is no real danger?
Maybe I should pinch him, or stab him with a needle - no matter how realistic he is in pretending to be dead, he will definitely react instinctively when he is physically stimulated!
He made a plan, but Xiaowenshu had to think about it one last time before doing it: she was extremely weak and didn't carry a needle, but the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch was a famous White Walker killer, one of the toughest men in the Seven Kingdoms , if only ordinary methods are used, maybe he can still resist... There may be no second chance to test, and a sure-fire plan that will never cause problems must be found before it can be implemented!
After thinking about it, Missandei quickly came up with an idea.
She was born in the slave class, and the friends she made when she was young were all slaves, and a "bed slave" friend once told her: There is a place in a man, no matter how hard he practices it, it is the greatest weakness, even if he is strong , A dead soldier who can stab a sword into his heart without changing his expression, will never be indifferent to this vital point... In addition to the absolute effect, there is another advantage, that is - attacking this place, neither It requires effort and no tools!

Chapter 559 "Lifeline of Life"
After staying in the same castle with Varys and Petyr for half a month, Iger deeply realized: getting along with these two shit-stirring sticks day and night, witnessing and even participating in their conspiracies... Looking at them making waves from a different dimension on the screen is a completely different feeling.
As Varys, the enemy, began to notice his existence, Littlefinger, the original ally, also realized that his "little brother" was not well-behaved-although he was still holding a heavy army in Winterfell on the surface, but in the future Unable to take advantage of this advantage, Iger is actually in the most dangerous political environment where the front wolf is facing the enemy!
It was only at this moment that Iger finally understood: why the road to the upper echelon of powerful people in ancient and modern China and abroad must be accompanied by "eradicating dissidents."
Because you will never guess: whether the opponents are planning any conspiracy, when they are going to start to act, and how they will deal with themselves after they succeed... In the case of opposing positions and different interests, this kind of suspicion can never be diluted through time Or eliminated through communication, it will only become deeper and more serious.
If you don't want to drag the weight of the chain of suspicion to move forward, then the ending is actually only the only and destined one.
In novels, dramas, and history books, Iger has seen too many examples of characters who are as smart as himself or even more powerful, but because of a mistake in one move or a half-step difference, they all lost their heads.Lessons learned from the past will overwhelm the future, and it is precisely because the lessons learned are many and heavy that they are more timid than ordinary people.
It was this kind of cowardice that prompted Iger, after a sleepless night, to hurry up and arrange an action that even he himself felt hasty—to deal with an extraordinary enemy, one must use extraordinary means.He wanted to use this incredible pre-emptive attack to make a final decision and eliminate all factors that would hinder his influence and control over the Queen.
There are two reasons why Petyr, who has no conflicts, is included in the calculation: one is that he has already shown his killing intent to him, and if something happens to Varys, Littlefinger will definitely know that it was him who did it; The first reason is even simpler-Iger doesn't want to be the running dog who was cooked after killing the cunning rabbit. Since he doesn't want to bother to deal with the former allies who lost the reason for unity because of the loss of the common enemy after dealing with the eunuch, then the best The solution is nothing more than a one-pot solution.
Now that you have boasted of "once and for all", it is natural to follow through to the end!
***
There are many tests that must be passed through for this amazing venture to be fully successful, but two of them are the most crucial and the most difficult.
The first of them is "how to make Varys and Petyr drink the poisoned wine while being on guard", which he has successfully succeeded by relying on a series of confusing and frightening operations, so there is no need to repeat it.
And the second is how to make Daenerys' trust and respect for herself not to be cracked.
To achieve the latter goal, he made a series of careful arrangements, which can be roughly divided into three steps.
The first step is to let all the evidence not point to yourself.
The many arrangements made in the restaurant where the incident occurred created a fake scene, and the vomit that rushed out the door and vomited on the ground turned into a mountain of iron evidence. The Unsullied man paired by Varys and Petyr The guards can be excellent testimonies—not only can they explain that they survived because they took self-rescue measures, but also that no one entered the scene after the incident and that the vomit was not tampered with by anyone. Make a guarantee.
This group of Unsullied did not protect Varys and Petyr well during their lifetime, but because of the natural attribute and label of "absolutely loyal to Daenerys", they became the murderer's tool and greatest help after the two died.
There are all witnesses and evidences. If there is a lawsuit, Iger is one of the victims who can escape the suspicion... But after all, Daenerys is not a judge but the monarch he serves. As long as she still has doubts or grudges in her heart, then Even if there is no evidence in the end to prove that the night watchman did this, Iger will have trouble sleeping.
To avoid this, Iger needs Daenerys to completely believe that she was really poisoned and almost died.
Thus, the second step came into being-trying to seduce the queen, and trick her into visiting in person or by sending someone.
Melisandre, as the priest of the Red God who was supposed to be neutral but surrendered because of his status as the chosen one, was one of the biggest contributors to his "survival" and became the best candidate for this task.
And the last third step, after the red-robed woman completed her mission, was naturally clear: she would not reveal herself under the visits and temptations of Daenerys or the people she sent, and completely win her sympathy.
On how to pretend to be dead, Iger had a tireless and exhaustive discussion with Bachelor Coburn and Melisandre, and finally selected a few suitable spells from the latter's lifelong learning: first, a A series of spells that can slow down the metabolic rate of the human body and weaken the vital signs. The effect is to slow down the breathing and heartbeat, lower the body temperature, and enter a state similar to hibernation...to simulate the dying appearance of a lingering person; , the magic that temporarily disappears consciousness-it is not enough to pretend to be dead, and you have to be able to cope with the temptations of those who come to investigate, such as scratching, pinching the flesh, or even stabbing with needles and knives.This point is particularly critical - just imagine, if a serious patient who is clearly at the end of his life, would it not be funny if someone scratched his armpits, pinched his thighs and then laughed out loud or jumped up from the bed?
He arranged everything seamlessly, but he didn't have time for even half a rehearsal, and the consequence of this was—the plan went wrong when it was implemented: the half-dragon scale that R'hllor gave was so dead It has the effect of magic resistance, and the trigger condition is a mystery, the host cannot control it!
Melisandre's hibernation technique could have made him appear extremely close to death, but in fact, when the spell was cast to a certain extent, it would make the dragon scale feel that "the host was hurt by the curse", thus releasing energy to counteract and neutralize it... In the end, Iger He can only agree to weaken the spell power, and avoid touching the trigger red line of the scales to protect himself.If this only slightly affects the fidelity of pretending to be dead and is not harmful to the overall situation, then the latter problem is a big problem: whether it is a forced coma or perceptual suppression, it will be directly and directly judged by the scale of R'hllor as a harmful spell , with a little effort, it disappeared into his body like a mud cow entering the sea.
Time is running out, but Melisandre's mana has been stretched, and she can't test him one by one.If he can't quickly come up with a solution, Iger will have to face Daenerys' possible test with a clear mind and full consciousness-as long as the visitor tries a little, he may be exposed!
After wandering around anxiously for a long time, it was finally the last move prepared by Bachelor Cobain that came to the rescue: he took out a potion that could temporarily curb the body's reaction speed and make people fall into a "pseudo" paralysis state in a short time.I don't know if it's because Dragon Scale has different criteria for screening and judging medicines and spells, and the countermeasures are different, or it takes time to detoxify, but it is actually useful!
So, in the end, Iger drank a large bottle of paralysis potion at the moment when the doctor and maid sent by Daenerys came in for examination, and then quickly lay down on the bed, hoping that everything would go according to plan.
……
The military doctor sent by Daenerys is not only ignorant of toxicology in terms of knowledge, but also has a rather sloppy personality. The queen entrusted such a critical and deadly task, but he only hurriedly touched it and thought it was done. , unsuspectingly got up and chatted with Cobain.
Iger secretly smiled in his heart, and before he had time to rejoice, another person approached the bed.

Chapter 560 Brother Suffering
I can't open my eyes, so I can't see who is coming, but since there are only two outsiders entering the house, the identity of the other party is actually easy to guess.
Sure enough, accompanied by the sound of light and rapid breathing with a hint of nervousness, a smooth and tender little hand touched his face, touching east and west, and even pinched his nose as if doubting whether it was true or not. …Then he put it down and probed into the bottom of the quilt, held his arm for a while and felt the obviously abnormal hypothermia, then moved to his chest and pressed it for a few seconds——after confirming that the heartbeat frequency had not changed significantly, he felt a little unwilling pumped out.
That's it?
Get away with it?
Just as Iger breathed a sigh of relief again, the little hand slipped in again from the other edge of the bed without warning, this time no longer looking left and right, but passed quickly and purposefully across his waist The pole and the lower abdomen slid down an inch, and pressed it precisely on Little Iger.
Although the body is temporarily difficult to move, the unparalyzed nerve endings still faithfully and sensitively feed back all touch sensations to the brain.
Iger suddenly felt like his hair was going to stand on end.
No matter what image he is in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a perfectly normal man physically after removing his identity and neglecting his status... In such a situation without any psychological preparation, the best brother suddenly fell into her hands , it is impossible not to be nervous.
What does this little girl want to do?Could it be that he wants to judge whether he is pretending to be dead by looking at his body "whether it can be changed"? !
But doesn't she know that reactions like Bo-ligo-ji are divided into two types: psychological and reflexive, and are not completely controlled by the high-level center of the brain. Is there a way to test whether others are poisoned?
Wait, it would be too much to expect an underage native of this world to know so much, she probably doesn't know!
Then I have to do my best to contain the body's reaction!
Iger is not an agent or a spy, and he has never received such unpopular skill training. This is of course a fantasy on weekdays, but now he has Melisandre's series of hibernation spells and Queben's paralysis potion. Two-pronged approach, not only the reaction is slightly slow, but also the blood pressure drops after the heartbeat slows down, and the supply of various parts is also a big problem. As long as you persist a little, it will be enough to drag the people around you to notice that something is wrong and take action to rescue it!
Within three or two seconds, Iger had a clear idea of how to deal with it, but—things did not go in the direction he expected at all: Missandei held his brother's little hand, neither rubbing nor stroking, but After a brief exploration of the familiar structure, he quickly dived down again, holding his more fragile core in his palms, and without hesitation he squeezed his fingers when he was completely in the future and would never be able to prepare for it!
***
If the pain is graded from 0 to 10, then according to the differences in personal physique, endurance and will, the pain experience of different men to broken eggs will probably be in the range of "10 points", "[-] points" to "explosive" " between swings and floats.
Because the nerves are densely packed but rarely have strong contact with foreign objects other than friction, the pain caused by the trauma here is not only intense but also extremely strange. Without targeted experience training, no one can resist purely by will.In an instant, a tsunami-like terrifying and rapid pain rushed into my brain from bottom to top, sweeping across Iger's entire consciousness in an instant—like condensing the pain of a woman's entire childbirth into half a second and releasing it in this kind of pain that far exceeded the threshold of tolerance. In the face of the turbulent pain, reason has no time to play a role: what is the decisive plan once and for all, what is the plan of pretending to be dead to fool the queen, what is the big move to push the seven kingdoms to establish the king's territory... all were washed away, Iger's mind All of a sudden there was only one thing left:
pain! ! !
He should have bowed and curled up into a ball, he should have held his belly in pain until he lost his voice, he should have convulsed and rolled over in pain until he couldn't breathe... In short, he would have made some violent movements, completely exposing the fact that he was pretending to be dead, Let all the previous foreshadowing and preparations fail, and be forced to adopt the back-up plan, the worst of the worst: slay the dragon and kidnap the queen.
But Bachelor Coben's paralysis potion has established a miraculous effect at this moment-as a medical product to assist surgery, although it can't really paralyze people, it can make all the actions of the user much softer and weaker than usual, and slow down by two beats , and this characteristic led to: the peak of pain that originally only took half a second to cross the border was abruptly disintegrated and divided into a few seconds, and this seemingly insignificant weakening was enough to make Ben jump up Iger, bowing and rolling abruptly, turned into slightly pinched legs, twitching and writhing.
This level of improvement will not reverse the inevitable outcome of Luchen... because Missandei's hand has not left, and in the case of zero-distance contact with the body, no amount of slight movement can escape her perception.
Fortunately, Iger is not fighting alone, he has teammates-a group of land-grants standing in front of the hospital bed, they will not just watch Daenerys' maid fiddle with and torture their commander-in-chief.
***
Here, Iger struggled with pain he had never experienced in his life.
On the other side, the little document who had just resorted to Duan Zijue grandson was also blushing, his cheeks were burning hot, and his little heart was raised in his throat.
Although she was a female slave, Missandei was still young before she was liberated from the good master by Daenerys, and she was discovered to have an extraordinary talent for language. The slave owner who owned her chose to train her as a clerk and translator instead of Bed slave... There is a clear division of labor among slaves, and there are very few part-time jobs, which leads to: Strictly speaking, this is the first time she has had such unobstructed contact with the body of the opposite sex.
Shyness is only a small part of Missandei's emotions at the moment, fear and nervousness are the protagonists - she is very aware of how dangerous her actions are: if her suspicions fail, then she is just disrespectful to the commander-in-chief of the night watchman, and she has the queen's backing , mostly fine.But once the guess is true, the commander-in-chief of the night watchman, who is pretending to be dead, will definitely jump up in a fit of rage, wave his hands murderously and order to be arrested... At that time, Daenerys will even kill herself. To be a target, not to mention protecting herself and the healer who came with her.
After holding it, Missandei let go of her fingers, held her breath and waited for the result to be known, but things also did not develop in the direction she expected: Someone did jump up in a rage—it was not Iger who was lying on the bed, but It was the escort guard who stood by and stared at her from beginning to end.
"What are you doing!" Harvey, the captain of the guard, roared like thunder, and pulled out his sword in the sound of metal scraping.
For a girl about Myrcella's age, Missandei was probably both clever and brave.But no matter how loyal she is to Daenerys and is willing to sacrifice for her, she is still just a little girl with no power to restrain her... The courage summoned out of loyalty and sense of responsibility has been completely consumed In the matter of "attacking the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watchman", so much so that when another adult male soldier with a thick back and a heavily armed body was approaching her with a sword in his hands, she was scared and screamed and backed away. But he tripped over the stool next to the bed where the two "doctors" had sat before, leaned back, landed on his buttocks, and fell firmly face to the sky.
"What are you doing?" Melisandre saw everything in her eyes, immediately reacted, made a confused expression, and asked knowingly.
"Did you see what this stinky girl was doing just now!" Harvey held the steel sword tightly, said in a suppressed and furious tone, and forced Missandei who fell to the ground.
"What can she do as a little girl?" The red-robed girl raised her brows and stood between the two, pretending to confront her: "Put down the sword!"
"The Commander-in-Chief is in a coma and his life or death is uncertain. It's fine if the shit queen doesn't come to visit, but she sent a maid to touch him while Master Iger was unconscious? What's wrong with that!" Harvey blushed and lost his mind. He stared at Melisandre viciously, "Old witch, the Commander-in-Chief respects you, and the brothers give you face. If something happens to him, you are no different from a fart in our eyes! Get out of the way !"
Melisandre narrowed her eyes, her eyes flashed fiercely, and her tone became unkind: "Oh? Then if I refuse to give in, why don't you give it a try? What's the difference between me and a fart?"
The guard and the red-robed woman confronted each other for a while, acting as if they were scared out of fear, took a step back, and pointed at Xiaowenshu who was rubbing his butt and struggling to get up from the ground: "Hey! Little horse flea hoof! If you need a man, just tell me, there are a lot of brothers in this army camp for you to choose, stay away from people you shouldn't touch!"
The doctor sent by the queen was still exchanging detoxification methods with Cobain one moment ago, but the scene had fallen out to the point of daggers and swords in the next second. The situation changed so quickly that he was frightened and froze, not daring to say anything In the end, it was Maester Qyburn who bent down and helped Missandei who fell to the ground in fright with a benevolent face.
"Harvey, calm down. This girl is just trying to wake up the Commander-in-Chief by 'giving stimulation'. This is a very common operation in medicine, and there is no malice. Don't be too uncommon!" The old bachelor pretended to appease the maddened The guard, while steadying the little clerk, gently pushed her towards the door, tilted his head and lowered his voice to remind her and the already frightened Potter: "Go, the commander-in-chief is poisoned, the most panic is that the gang following from the south The confidant he came here has made them anxious, and he can really do anything right now!"
"Yes... I'm sorry, I... I... I'm going to inform the queen right now!" Missandei was so frightened that she couldn't even speak, she dragged her doctor back while nodding, and finally cast a glance at the night watchman. The commander's hospital bed quickly opened the door and escaped.

Chapter 561 The Body of Ten Thousand Gold
After the envoys sent by the queen left, and the unknowing woman, the woman who didn't know about it, was also pushed back. Iger sat up with difficulty under the support of Harvey and Bachelor Qyburn who had put their swords back into their sheaths. After half a minute, I finally got my breath from the excruciating pain.
He thought he had figured everything out, but unexpectedly: the humble little maid next to Daenerys was actually so "cruel"!
For a moment just now, he really thought that he would die from the pain.
"Good job." Wiping off a few beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, Iger said with his dull lips, "The timing of the siege just now was just right, and the acting was quite realistic, which is worthy of praise!"
This compliment comes from the bottom of my heart—the situation just now can be described as a close call: if Harvey pretended to have an attack one second earlier, and Missandei was blocked before he could make a move, he would definitely be suspicious; , he can't restrain his instinctive legs and trembling movements, and he will be noticed by him, and then he can only give up pretending to be dead and force him to stay.
Although I was the one who made them vigilant and prepared to act according to circumstances, but in all fairness, it would be difficult for them to do better if they did it themselves.
After spending time with him for a long time, the people under his hands have also learned about seven or eight percent of his acting skills. This is probably called the one who is close to Mo... No, he is close to Zhu Zhechi.
At least today, this ability is considered to have come in handy.
"The siege was really good, but I don't know if she cheated the girl." Cobain said worriedly, "I think she still looked at the adult's bed before she left, although she said 'go to inform me'. Queen'—I don’t know whether to tell the queen to come, or not to come?”
The scene fell silent for a short while, what Cobain said was exactly what everyone was worried about at the moment, but there was no way... even if they had doubts, they couldn't stop Missandei from letting her go.
Melisandre looked at Iger: "You didn't move when she took a last look before she left."
"Don't move, hold back."
The severe pain from the main body has receded by [-]%, but it is still so strong that he cannot bear it. Fortunately, the dragon scale on the chest seems to have sensed that the host has been seriously injured, and it actually started to heat up and send a stream of warmth to the wound. go.Iger didn't dare and didn't have time to touch the wound, and now he can only hope that this piece of treasure that has been enchanted by R'hllor is magical enough to deal with this kind of unpopular trauma.
The plan to deal with the people sent by Daenerys was dangerous and dangerous, and he naturally hoped that Missandei would be fooled, but he climbed from the bottom step by step to where he is today, relying on——Emotional integrity Go, in principle, try to pin your hopes on other people's hands as little as possible-especially a hot hand.
Rejecting Cobain's suggestion to check his injuries for him, he started to organize and implement the third step plan in an orderly manner according to his original plan.
This final step is divided into two parts, corresponding to two situations: Daenerys comes, or doesn't come.
Cobain and Melisandre are in a group. They are responsible for dealing with the ideal situation of "the Queen's visit". The task is nothing more than the preparation of words, routines and spell-casting rituals. Not only is the workload small, but it has been completed early in advance , only owes the east wind.
And another group of people... the entire Land Grant Army, to be precise, had to make arrangements for the worst case scenario - "the queen and the Unsullied evacuated from Winterfell".Their missions include not only fighting against the Unsullied Guards, capturing the Queen alive in the chaos, but also setting up artillery to hunt dragons, and guarding the movement of the Dreadfort troops outside the city and the northern coalition forces led by Robb, etc. It is arduous and arduous, but the bigger challenge is still: the soldiers will start when they get the news suddenly.
In order to ensure the authenticity of this drama and to reduce the risk of future news leaks, the truth of this poisoning incident is only known to a few people in the inner circle who can count on one hand. The soldiers of the local army really thought that Iger was poisoned and in danger.Under such circumstances, he suddenly received the latest instructions and started to implement them in a hurry. It is conceivable that the test of organization and discipline is difficult, and even Iger himself has no idea.
Commands came out from the Commander-in-Chief's room densely through Harvey's mouth. The soldiers of the Land Grant Army woke up one after another under the soft calls or pushes of their officers and colleagues, and began to dress and arm silently. ...
If things go well, the second round of news will inform everyone that "the commander-in-chief is safe, the previous assembly was a false alarm, everyone will go back to bed and continue to sleep."
And if it doesn't go well, the command of the Land Grant Army will announce that "the poisoner was sent by the queen", and use this as an excuse to immediately launch a war that will shock the seven kingdoms and both sides of the narrow sea. The "Blood Wedding" in the original plot has betrayal and mutiny even worse.
The tense waiting made the flow of time slow down. After more than ten long minutes passed, the news came from the night sentinel outside the house: Shortly after the Queen's two envoys returned to the guest room building, a large group of Unsullied soldiers arrived. They began to send orders back and forth, and after a while, they escorted the queen... towards the land-grant army camp!
The pain is not in vain!
